Growing up with a piano teacher as mother, and four elder siblings playing all kind of instruments, Morten Storgaard has always been surrounded by music. His brother taught him to play trumpet at the age of six, and at 15 he picked up the guitar. He is self-taught on the guitar, and since he started Silent Highway, he has developed his personal way of tuning the guitar strings. It contributes to an utterly unique sound, and chords you rarely hear from guitar-based Singer/Songwriters.

Silent Highway touch on subjects like family tragedies, faith, doubt and existential questions and often wrap them in parable-like stories, which often leaves the listener with new angles for reflection.

After 30 concerts in 2007 at cafes, clubs and smaller festivals, he now seems to have found his own musical stand in the acoustic/indie genre, and his debut album "hope from the borderland" is out by december 07!

Before Silent Highway Morten Storgaard has been a part of the Danish indie/noise-rock act Lampshade for two years as a live-trumpeter and guitarist. He has also formed the Hardcore band Barricades, which he left to focus on Silent Highway.
